I don't mind handling black field crickets, locust, wax worms and butterworms, got used to them now. However I know what you mean by the superworms and mealworms, they freak me out so I don't bother with them:o. Going to try out silkies though as feeders and hope to get some to coccon as the...

I currently use an Arcadia 6% tube with a reflector on it for my baby panther's set-up, height of which is 33" (approximately). My baby panther seems to be able to regulate his exposure to UVB quite easily ( he's about 14 weeks old ) as he moves about the enclosure, so I would think your cham...
Just a thought, how old is your baby? Is it possible he/she is about to shed? My little one stopped eating for a couple of days before shedding his skin which I read somewhere was usual ( in one of the many cham books I've bought:) ). Might be an idea to try small locust as an alternative, mine...
If you want to use a Malagasy name, I recommend you visit this site http://malagasyworld.org/bins/ethnicLists
Once you have an idea of your cham's character you can type in the english words and get Malagasy translation, looking at the sire I would be leaning towards 'Avana' but then I am...
:) Hi Guys, just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the new addition to our menagerie, had him for just 4 days so he's still getting used to his new home:D

Not got a name for him yet, leaning towards blue moon ( he's a blue bar ambilobe:) ), Manga Volana in Malagasy. Though think...
Hyah, just to let you know, the Exo Terra Dual Canopy has as its heat bulb a halogen bulb that uses the GU10 fitting, I've got one on one of my exo terra's and the 50w puts out a fair bit of heat, also try The Pink Skink Herp Shop on Ebay for some other types of lights, might find some that will...
:) I'm getting a Blue Bar Ambilobe male a week on monday ( can't wait :D ) from some one who breeds them in Epping.
I did find a place on net that shows how to build a viv out of wood and mesh, it will probably be the basis for my next build...
Hyah Oski, I got the screen mesh from Flyscreenman on Ebay, very reasonable I thought price wise :D, the actual viv looks as if it was originally a glass display case that was then adapted by the previous owners for use as a viv. I have further adapted it by removing most of the glass and...
Thanks for the input guys, will definately look to moving the plants up, plants are a bit small at the moment:( but hopefully they will grow quick:). The UV tube has an arcadia reflector behind it at the mo, will alter the angle to help minimise the glare :) as I can't actually move it from...
Hi as the title suggests, does any one use this UVb tube? I currently use the Arcadia D3+ 12% for my Dragons and Uro with no probs :D and wondered if any one has used the Arcadia D3 6% for their Panther Chams? BTW I know the tube of choice seems to be between ZooMed and Exo Terra just curious...
Hi Guys, just wanted to get a bit of input on a new set up I've been building as I will be getting my first Panther Cham in a weeks time:D
Herer are a couple of pics for you to look at to get a general idea of how it looks. Not set up the misting system or dripper as yet, will be doing that...
